Damp basements are one of the most common areas where you'll find mold.
Inside this home it was found on the ground, along the walls, and even hanging near the ceiling.
And some times it lurks in unsuspecting place like the bathroom or kitchen. That thick coating of black is a mold colony fed by moisture from a faulty exhaust fan.

It's part of a major exhibition of drawings, letters and documents of the famed Italian Renaissance artist.
Michelangelo offered the portrait in 1560 to his best friend and it has rarely been exhibited out of Florence.
What makes this drawing really different is that it has two sides; The back side, discovered only in 1988, shows another one of the master artist's most famous work, the Sistine Chapel.
